Do you know what URBITÁLIS is? Well, it’s a month-long festival that involves the whole of Budapest. The most important purpose of Urbitális is to show how rich, multi-faceted and complex not only the Hungarian culture, but its society, too. This year the main theme is the capital itself, which involves and introduces its districts, bigger squares, parks, and other establishments as well. Moreover, several theatres, cinemas, cafes, restaurants, national and private firms will take part in it.

Urbitális offers diverse entertainment, thus, demonstrates the progress Budapest has made culturally in the previous years. Consequently, in its schedule you will not only find the usual conferences, exhibitions, and workshops, but thought-provoking discussions, local walks, and bicycle trips will be organized, too.

Furthermore, the residents of Budapest will have the chance to get to know the institutions which serve the community (such as the waterworks, fire stations, and bus garages) in a way that they have never seen them before. Numerous trips will be organized to different museums and other cultural institutions, but to other fairly unusual locations, too.

So, the Budapesti Urbanisztika Majális started on May 1^st, and several events are on schedule up until May 31^st.
